Flutter said NSX is expected to generate revenue of approximately $256 million this year, as well as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation of $34 million. NSX entered the market in 2021 and is now the number four operator in Brazil with 12 per cent of the sports betting market and 9 per cent share of the online market.
